Was it racist, daddy?
It’s been a torrid week for the WSL. Four days ago, the privately owned governing body of surfing unveiled its vision of perfection in an Instagram post titled “Paradise found.”

Oh it’s gone.
It was a short clip of a closeout onto dry reef with a SUP pilot viewing from a distance. The WSL’s followers wondered, “What am I missing here” and “If you like closeouts and reef cuts??”
The following day, the former world number four surfer and one-time best surfer in the world, Dane Reynolds, was filmed shooting the WSL account down in hell-flames for the magazine Monster Children.
“I hate WSL’s Instagram,” said Dane. “Pro surfing and perfect waves. It’s just the worst pandering bullshit that’s just, like, exploiting surfing.”
Question: Does paradise no longer exist?
Or could paradise, the sort favoured by surfers, be something more than a stretch of straight tropical reef populated by naked-thighed SUP pilots?
And would you like to hold Dane Reynolds and his big sippy cup in your lap, cool leather against your nakedness?
All of surf media is a total farce.. jj isnt even in the masters.. u guys are all fucking clowns. Yes im talking to you derel and chaddy.
Their Instagram seems to be curated by one of those surfing.love.life content aggregator bots. The #worst
They also prematurely claimed the return of John and Kelly before having to reword. Marketing team getting knuckles rapped.
Maybe they outsourced their content development to Fiverr. Some Sri Lankan hustler has promised to up their social media following by 50%. “Yes yes surfing is tropical ocean and waves, I have seen it on the television.
And none of the wsl interns knew enough to say differently when this post came out.
I was recently chatting with an actual WSL employee who I believe does indeed surf. He mentioned how he is often one of few in room who does. He also mentioned how often he shuffles back to his cubicle outvoted, and in turn horrified, on the latest suggested plan of action.
Get more dirt from her/him! Trickle it through for us depraved gossip-mongers!!
but why would they be showing ‘naked thigh’ SUPers in closeouts? anyone in top mgt. fit that description?
Are you ready to play a guessing game?
All sup should be naked from the waist down.
Makes it easier for their boyfriends to insert the carrot.
Orlando Bloom is all about it!
For those who missed the initial salvo. https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
